Email Marketing:

Email marketing is a great way to stay in  contact with your audience and keep them engaged with your business and brand. Email engagement with your audience can be a great addition to your overall sales process, again another cog in the machine, to ultimately help drive more sales or other desired conversions. It involves sending promotional emails or newsletters to a list of subscribers who have opted-in to receive messages from your brand. We can communicate all kinds of things through email marketing. Through the channel of email marketing we can inform, educate, ask, as well as share promotions, latest blog or website posts, or other important information your organization desires to communicate. 

Email marketing is another great tool to help achieve TOMA, Top Of Mind Awareness.

 If your product or service has a longer sales cycle or a high ticket price, email marketing can keep your business in front of your interested prospect until they are ready to buy. This is an area we see a lot of business fail. They simply say “next” when someone doesn’t buy right now and that means that potential customer will likely buy from a competitor. By simply putting them into an email marketing campaign you can keep your business Top of Mind so when they are ready to buy, they purchase from you. We call these types of email campaigns email nurturing campaigns. The goal is to “nurture” your lead until they are ready to become a client. Email marketing helps build customer relationships, increase brand awareness, and ultimately drive revenue.

This can be done through pay-per-click (PPC) advertising, which is exactly that, paying per each click you receive on an ad that then drives your engaged visitor to an action. Usually the goal is to get someone to a landing page (see our article on those) and convert through some form of CTA (call to action). PPC management is bidding on keywords, managing the effectiveness of those keywords in relation to your set ad spend budget, setting up specific campaigns and creating compelling ad copy. Search engine marketing helps drive traffic to your website and increase conversions.

Google Ads Management:

Google Ads is a powerful advertising platform that allows you to create compelling ads and display them on Google search results pages and other websites in the Google Display Network. 

A wise man once told me:  Think of Google as “Asked” and “Answered”. 

Google wants to give its users, those asking in that little search bar, the best “answers” it can for the thing typed in the search or the “ask”. Google Ads are the ads that show up (usually obviously seen by the little word “AD” next to it, of course until Google changes it again) at the top and bottom of those search results. You can “circumvent” the organic leaders for the top spot for your desired keywords  on Google by paying to be above them, that’s Google Ads.  Google ad management involves creating and optimizing your ads to reach your target audience and drive conversions.
